New Dash Cam Video Shows Laquan McDonald Running from Police
— -- New dash cam footage released from the night of teen Laquan McDonald's fatal shooting by police shows the teen running from a cop car.
This blurry footage, taken from the dash camera in officer Jason Van Dyke's patrol car, shows the 17-year-old running from the vehicle.
The video from the night of Oct. 20, 2014, released by police, ends less than 30 seconds before Van Dyke began shooting McDonald.
Van Dyke, who has since been charged with first degree murder is accused of shooting McDonald 16 times in a 14 to 15 second span, authorities said.
Footage from another police car's dash cam, which arrived at the scene less than one minute after McDonald, shows the teen lying on the ground. He later died at a hospital.
The footage from Van Dyke's camera comes two days after Chicago police released the initial footage of McDonald being fatally shot. The police released that footage, against the wishes of McDonald's family, after a court order.
